More Details About the Bloated and Failing Intel Hierarchy of America

MSNBC has followed up the WaPo's article about the intel community with their own republished details and expanded anecdotes.

The Post's article detailed the unwieldy nature of intelligence gathering surrounding Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and the Fort Hood shooting, using it to show what happens when intelligence information is not produced and shared in an efficient manner.
Information about Hasan's increasingly bizarre behavior and his e-mails to a radical Yemeni cleric leading up to the shooting did not reach the organization expressly charged with counterintelligence efforts within the Army, the Post reported.
'The Army's 902nd Military Intelligence Group had been doing little to search the ranks for potential threat,' the newspaper said.
'Instead, the 902's commander had decided to turn the unit's attention to assessing general terrorist affiliations in the United States, even though the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI's 106 Joint Terrorism Task Forces were already doing this work in great depth.'
